Welcome to the second episode of the Kit Nerd Corner podcast. Will this be our Second Coming?* Will we see an acrimonious breakup or will we continue on our upward trajectory into podcast fame and fortune?

In this our second episode, us kit nerds introduce the idea of a grail kit, talk about the ones we’re striving for, and then as usual (it’s twice, so usual is a thing) dive into a bunch of interesting shirts that we’ve seen recently. One of us just bought a shirt. And then we mention a few things that we want to mention.

Episode rundown:

1. Introduction
2. Meet the kit nerds and find out what their grail kit is
